Awkward pregnancy photos

Every pregnant woman wants keepsake photos capturing her swollen belly. Sometimes those photographs are beautiful, magical, and wonderfully touching (usually because a professional photographer was involved). Other times those shots are comical, uncomfortable, or downright awful.

The hugely popular website Awkward Family photos has collected a batch of the most awkward pregnancy photos and you’ll find a collection of them in the slideshow below.

The story behind Awkward Family Photos: Childhood friends Mike Bender and Doug Chernack launched Awkward Family Photos after Mike noticed an awkward vacation photo hung in his parents’ house. They figured there were probably plenty of other people out there with their own awkward family images, and the two friends decided to create a friendly place where everyone could come together and share their uncomfortable family moments. Now their site receives millions of hits and they’ve released two books: Awkward Family Photos and Awkward Family Pet Photos.
